Give us 5 words that best describe you as an athlete:
ambitious, determined, hard-working, clutch, tournament-player
Tell us about your best memory of your athletic career:
Besides many other great memories, the best was probably a tournament round in 2020. I was 4-over through the first three holes, but managed to finish with a total of 7-under 65. Knowing to be able to shoot low really improved me as an athlete and gave me the confidence that I can always do it again!
Goals:
I want to earn a full exemption on the European Tour!
Anything else we should know?
Once I earn my European Tour card, I will be trying to get as many wins as possible.
